Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
So I'd better keep my eyes closed on such brainless ideas about the outward appearance of the Dwarves, as it is about to spoil my imagination of Tolkien's Dwarves in the Hobbit already ... what a mess ... unbelievably ridiculous that is ... full stop

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
Thanks for the pics erch.
I agree with you Master Tree, they should at least have stocky builds, full beards, and appropriate weapons (for Dwarves).

Bofur, Bombur and Bifur.... or Fat Viking ( look like Obelix )... Russian miner and whaler with a harpoon....
I really hope that all other dwarves activities will appear in those films much closer to the description in Hobbit...
....now when I see that there will be no purple, green, blue and other hoods....

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
Wow! These dwarves are funny looking. 
They are kinda interesting too, in a weird way.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
Now it is also me, wondering a bit concerning the dwarven-design.
I hope the elvish-design won´t surprise us as well . . .

Maybe the magic was the most powerful force in the world. But that was long ago.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
I kinda like that the younger Dwarves don't have beards yet. It's a useful visual shorthand.
I'd say once you've shot them as short, and note the odd dimensions of the outfits, they'll all look plenty stocky.
I'd also suggest that these dwarves won't look like this until Rivendell, maybe not until Erebor. They'll all be wearing their hoods and whatnot when we see them first.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
young fili or kili without beard can be fine... if he was not THAT slim of face and body... like an elf...
too slim...

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
Some photos I've seen of the actor suggests he's had to put on weight for the role.
And squish the visual down a bit and he'll look a lot chunkier.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
i hope you'll put a recap with ALL the dwarves once the pics are all released... I think we still miss Thorin?

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
We already know who is that is sitting on the table ..... 
Dwarves too "humanized" for my taste .....

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
It's definatedly not "hobbitish" at all (as in "The Hobbit" not as "dwarves-looking-like-hobbits). I really don't like it

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
I agree with you Lady Wirilómë, these are no J.R.R.T dwarves...
For instance Thorin...I don't like him at all

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
Well, I wouldn´ t say in general, that i don´t like ALL dwarves.
Painting small metal miniatures helped me to have a certain look at certain details. Necessary for painting small miniatures . . .
Doing so you can see some dwarven characters which are a bit "strange" in their design part.
Others are pretty much well done. Even if Del Toro´s characteristical influence polarizes.
Put your eye on Oin and Gloin for example. They look really fantastic.
Let´s wait until we see all of them in action . . .
Maybe the magic was the most powerful force in the world. But that was long ago.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
Thorin (most important character in Tolkien's world), then Kili & Fili, (despite being youngsters) all look human...
This is non sense
Other are quite nice and I agree also Oin and Gloin look great.
As you say, we shall wait and see once in move but I currently feel unconfortable...

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
I must say that Fili and Kili .. and Thorrin, all look very odd, I'd even say too elvish to be dwarves.... even if they have beards...
and Bifur with his sort of metal part in his forehead is odd too

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
To many odd dwarves are here... for one I'm sure. Master Turambar is right ! Only Oin and Gloin looks like dwarves shown in The LotR movies. All others might be better when we see them on film... !

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
Mithrill will have a hard time releasing Hobbit related figurines alongside the Movie "fashion" effect... if the movie characters are that alienated from the books....
but most of all... Games Workshop, will also have difficulties with that.... because they already released them I suppose and most of all the Necromancer figurine... (which makes an appearance at least in voice in the Hobbit movies)
